    Innisfree Village is seeking motivated, passionate, and conscientious individuals to join our residential volunteer program. This position offers a unique opportunity to live, work, and grow in a rural community alongside adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while gaining hands-on experience in life-sharing, caregiving, and therapeutic work.

    As a residential volunteer, you will:

    • Build meaningful relationships with coworkers and fellow community members from all walks of life.

    • Develop practical skills in community living, caregiving, and participation in therapeutic workstations such as the art studio, farm, bakery, gardens, and more.

    • Contribute to the daily life of the household and the larger community, making a positive impact on the lives of others.

    Life at Innisfree requires patience, flexibility, and a good sense of humor. Volunteers encounter both profound joys and real-life challenges, making emotional maturity and personal resilience essential for success. Compassion, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to service are key qualities that help volunteers thrive in this unique environment.

    No previous experience working with individuals with disabilities is required, though it is a plus. During the first month, volunteers receive structured training combined with hands-on guidance from staff and experienced community members. This orientation is designed to provide a clear understanding of responsibilities while also honoring your existing knowledge, skills, and life experiences to create a personalized and well-rounded introduction to life at Innisfree.

    Qualifications:

    • Commitment to one year of service, with the option to extend for additional years.

    • Equivalent of a high school diploma; further college or comparable experience is a plus.

    • Patience, flexibility, and a sense of humor.
